About us.

The South-central Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource (SPEER) serves as a leading trusted regional advisory organization for Texas and Oklahoma. We accomplish our mission and vision through strategic partnerships, accelerating the adoption of advanced building systems and science. With more than 35 million people across the SPEER region, tremendous possibilities exist to enhance energy efficiency through reliable, fact- and science-based expertise, insights into the Texas and Oklahoma energy landscape, strategic guidance and regional connections, and opportunities to stay ahead of policy, training, and industry shifts. By uniting a diverse network of industry leaders, SPEER helps organizations improve building performance and resiliency through accelerating the adoption of advanced building science and navigating policy to improve demand-side solutions.

SPEER was formed in 2011 as a public purpose, mission driven, industry supported, non-profit educational partnership, devoted to increasing the understanding and uptake of energy efficiency in Texas and Oklahoma. Business speaks very loudly in our region, and the business case for energy efficiency has never had a voice until now. SPEER has quickly become the industry resource for policymakers, professionals, and consumers in the region. Together, SPEER and our membership are accelerating the growth of energy efficiency retrofits and advanced building systems.

SPEER’s activities and initiatives have already had a significant impact in the region, but more importantly, SPEER’s growth, strong membership, and upcoming initiatives give the organization the potential to have a major and sustained impact going forward. This impact can be maximized by additional involvement from companies, organizations, foundations, and governmental entities that could provide support in myriad ways to help us achieve common goals.
